<strong>Natural</strong> Resources Canada – Community Energy Systems L.1.6.6 Solar housing - Case study: Wallisellen, Switzerland Above: Passive House near Montreal, Quebec The International Energy Agency is undertaking an international study to increase the use of solar energy in housing to more than 5 per cent of the housing stock by the year 2010. Canada is participating in the study that runs until 2005. The study will look at many housing types, different solar technologies, and retrofit possibilities. It will provide a model approach to builders and municipalities and include demonstration initiatives. For more information: http://www.ecbcs.org/Annexes/annex38.htm L.1.6.7 Healthy House - Case study: Toronto, ON Rolf Paloheimo of Creative Communities built the Toronto Healthy House, designed by Martin Leifhebber Architect, in 1996. It is also known as the Codicile house. It is two semi-detached infill houses that are completely self-sufficient from the municipal water and wastewater servicing and electrical grids. The Codicile harvests its own energy, collects and purifies rainwater for drinking and reuses and biologically treats its own wastewater. • It uses 10 times less water than a conventional house. • Energy savings result from use of photovoltaic and solar panels. • Intensification reduces sprawl. • The first floor is ideal for a home-based business.

Case Studies of Potential Applications of Innovative Residential Water and Waste water Technologies. Technical Series 99-116 http://www.cmhcschl.gc.ca/publications/en/rh-pr/index.html - Case study: Yellowknife, NWT The City of Yellowknife examined wastewater reclamation technology, such as the one used in the CMHC Healthy House, to determine the impact on land development costs, housing costs, and overall capital and operational cost of the infrastructure system. • A large portion of housing energy cost in the North is associated with the trucking water to housing and wastewater from housing. On-site reclamation technologies have significant potential application in the North. Source. ACT. Undated. Universal Application of Wastewater Reclamation Technology. City of Yellowknife. ACT Grant Award fact sheet http://www.actprogram.com/english/projects/rrr15.asp L.1.6.8 Car-free housing developments - Case study: Vienna, Austria The social housing project in Floridsdorf (250 units) has extensive community facilities, and demonstrates the latest resources in innovation and energy use. • The six-storey buildings have been oriented to enable direct sunlight to access the ground floors and features active (hot water) and passive heating. • A heat-recycling unit makes use of wastewater heat and can also switch to a cooling system in the summer. Grey-water is then treated on site to be reused in toilets. Draft 4/11/2005 25
